py3: fix headencode() with display=False

We previously called str() on a email.header.Header object. On Python 2,
this returns a bytestring and the __str__ method is actually an alias to
.encode() method. On Python 3, __str__ does not perform encoding (and
returns a unicode string). To keep a consistent behavior across Python
versions, we explicitly use .encode() and we wrap the result with
encoding.strtolocal() to get a bytestring in all cases. As a side effect
of forcing bytes conversion, we need to decode back in _addressencode().

This is to make test-notify.t pass on Python 3.

Also note that headers are now encoded in some patchbomb tests; this is
because the charset is not always "us-ascii" ("iso-8859-1" otherwise) on
Python 3.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version
